Han begynder at spille med mange forskellige musikere i Birmingham området, samt sammen med gæstende musikere (f.eks Muddy Waters). Han er meget inspireret af Ray Charles. Spencer Davis Group (1963 – 67) – Dannet 1963 af waliseren Spencer Davis (f. 1939). Han mødte Steve og Muff en aften de spillede med deres jazz-orkester.

  • Spencer Davis Group
    This pdf was last updated: Nov/04/2010. Spencer Davis Group With an outstanding line-up and a splendid mix of new originals, old hits and classic songs the legendary pop group and forerunner of British Invasion are back on tour. Line-up Spencer Davis - guitar, vocals Miller Anderson - guitar, vocals Eddie Hardin - organ, vocals Colin Hodgkinson - bass, vocals Steff Porcel - drums On Stage: 5 Travel Party: 6 Website www.spencer-davis-group.com Biography Wales-born guitarist, harmonica player and vocalist Spencer Davis became one of the elder statesmen of mid-1960s British rock. Together with his group, the Spencer Davis Band, which he formed in Birmingham in 1963, he scored with chart-topping hits, "Keep On Running" and "Somebody Help Me", in the UK and top ten hits, "Gimme Good Lovin'" and "I'm A Man", in the United States. The band, which featured teenaged Stevie Winwood on vocals, guitar and organ, his brother, Muff Winwood on bass and Peter York on drums, continued to mix commercial pop tunes and blues-inspired R&B until the Winwoods departed in 1967. After briefly sharing a duo with guitarist Alun Davies, he moved to California in 1970. Remaining active as a musician, he recorded a solo album that quickly went out of print, formed a new blues-pop band, Davis, York, Hardin and Fenwick in 1973 and an acoustic blues band with Richard Landis and Peter Jameson. For much of the remainder of the 1970s and early-80s, Davis worked behind the scenes. After working as a consultant for a California video company, he worked as an independent producer and publicist for Island Records, where he helped to guide the early careers of Robert Palmer and Bob Marley, and served as head of A & R for a small Hollywood-based independent label.
